The Great Benefits of Recycling your unused Children’s items…

Mums, Nearly New Baby Sales, Uncategorised, , , , , ,

Recycling your children’s items can have several benefits, both for the environment and for your family. Here are some key advantages:

  1. Environmental conservation: By recycling your children’s items, you contribute to reducing waste and conserving natural resources. Many children’s items, such as toys, clothing, and furniture, are made from materials like plastic, textiles, and wood, which can take a toll on the environment if they end up in landfills. Recycling these items allows them to be repurposed or used in the production of new items, reducing the need for virgin materials and minimising environmental impact.
  2. Waste reduction: Children tend to outgrow their clothes, toys, and other items quickly. Instead of throwing them away, recycling allows you to pass them on to other children or donate them to organisations that can redistribute them to families in need. This reduces the amount of waste generated and helps extend the life cycle of these items.
  3. Cost savings: Recycling your children’s items can be financially advantageous. Instead of buying new items every time your child outgrows something, you can explore secondhand or recycled options. Baby and Children’s Nearly New Sales, charity shops, consignment shops, and online marketplaces often have a wide range of gently used children’s items at more affordable prices. Recycling also allows you to receive value for items you no longer need by selling them or exchanging them through platforms or local communities.
  4. Teaching sustainable values: Engaging in recycling practices with your children helps instill a sense of environmental responsibility and sustainability. By involving them in the process, they learn about the importance of reducing waste, reusing resources, and making conscious choices. This can foster a lifelong mindset of environmental stewardship and encourage them to make eco-friendly decisions as they grow.
  5. Community building: Recycling children’s items can create connections within your community by attending a local Baby and Children’s Market nearly new sale. Donating or exchanging items with other families can build relationships, foster a sense of sharing, and create a supportive network. Additionally, when you donate to charitable organisations, you contribute to their missions and support their efforts to help families in need and environmental focused projects.
  6. Decluttering and organising: Recycling your children’s items allows you to declutter your living space and keep it organised. When you recycle items that are no longer needed, you create more room and reduce clutter, making it easier to manage your children’s belongings and maintain an orderly environment.

Overall, recycling your children’s items offers a range of benefits, including environmental conservation, waste reduction, cost savings, teaching sustainable values, community building, and decluttering. It’s a responsible and impactful way to manage your family’s belongings while making a positive contribution to the world around you. Plus you can generate some well needed funds to put towards your growing families needs, etc.

It’s a WIN, WIN for both you and the environment 🙂

Coronavirus/ COVID-19 – IMPORTANT UPDATE

Coronavirus/ COVID-19 – IMPORTANT UPDATE

In light of the global Coronavirus/ COVID-19 pandemic. It is with great sadness that our Baby and Children’s Market nearly new sales will be postponed until the government provides the green light for events/nearly new baby sales to re-open.

Due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic, our customers and their families’ health and safety are of great importance to us and so all nearly new sales have been postponed during the current climate.

New nearly new sale dates will be published on the website along with our social media pages once we are given the green light to resume.

All pre-booked stall bookings will be transferred to a future event, with a choice of suitable dates. Your local event managers will be in touch with all booked stallholders shortly.

Protecting yourself and others from the spread COVID-19

Coronavirus/ COVID-19 – IMPORTANT UPDATE. You can reduce your chances of being infected or spreading COVID-19 by taking some simple precautions:

  • Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water. Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.
  • Maintain at least 1 meter (3 feet) distance between yourself and others. Why? When someone coughs, sneezes, or speaks they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain the virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person has the disease.
  • Avoid going to crowded places. Why? Where people come together in crowds, you are more likely to come into close contact with someone that has COIVD-19 and it is more difficult to maintain a physical distance of 1 meter (3 feet).
  • Avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth. Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose, or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and infect you.
  • Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately and wash your hands. Why? Droplets spread the virus. By following good respiratory hygiene, you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu, and COVID-19.
  • Stay home and self-isolate even with minor symptoms such as cough, headache, mild fever, until you recover. Have someone bring you supplies. If you need to leave your house, wear a mask to avoid infecting others. Why? Avoiding contact with others will protect them from possible COVID-19 and other viruses.
  • If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention, but call by telephone in advance if possible and follow the directions of your local health authority. Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on the situation in your area. Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also protect you and help prevent the spread of viruses and other infections.
  • Keep up to date on the latest information from trusted sources, such as WHO or your local government and national health authorities. Why? Local and national authorities are best placed to advise on what people in your area should be doing to protect themselves.
  • If you do experience any of the symptoms: a cough, high temperature, or shortness of breath, please remain at home visit https://111.nhs.uk/covid-19 or call NHS 111 for advice.
